BANDITAS performed at the Boston Music Awards as one of the “Americana Artist of the Year” nominee on December 2nd, joined by Margaret Garrett of Mr. Airplane Man. Their album "Save the Rats," released in September 2012, features garagey, slightly sick folk-punk female vocals that fans of everything from Patsy Cline to Dum Dum Girls will find appealing. A full band backing the crooning duo rounds out the 9-track album that was recorded and mixed on cassette. If that doesn’t have the analog nerd in you running to purchase this band’s record – just wait. Your 12 hard-earned dollars doesn’t just get you an immediate download; you’ll also get the vinyl. Don’t take my word for it: you can preview the whole album at BANDITAS bandcamp. – Hillary Anderson
